2012 OLATHE MEDICAL CENTER TRIATHLON

image_name2

Wow! How about the perfect day for a triathlon? That is what the Johnson County Parks and Recreation District produced for the 2012 Olathe Medical Center Triathlon. By far and away, the best weather in Kansas City in months. Not only was the weather stellar, so was the race. The water was calm, the roads were fast, and the run was beautiful. Everything was planned to perfection. Becky Lavelle lead the first heat through the swim in 6 minutes, then road the fastest bike split of the day, followed by running at 6:10 per mile pace. Ashleigh Sumner placed second with a stellar performance and TRiKC member, Sherri Wattenbarger, was sixth overall.

All of our TRiKC women had a great race and a number of them took podium spots in their age groups including Cara Christianson Riley, Sherri Wattenbarger, Ronette Schaller, Kristine Herron, and Carol Adams.

Congratulations to all the finishers, you were fabulous. Hope to see you back again next year.

Hats off to the Johnson County Parks and Recreation District and the Olathe Medical Center for producing one of the finest triathlons in the United States.  

The compete results can be found here. Look for your photo in our We Got Your Picture with our Kodak slides.
